Default Hi-Vis micro CDC flies
A simple and very efficient method to increase the visibility for small CDC dry flies tied on #16-22 : adding a small bunch of white CDC barbs in front of the wing. In certain cases I use yellow or pink instead of white, especially at sunset when the light and the shadows become metallic.
